 The Interstate Commerce Law Has No Terrors for These Gentlemen. From the Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph.1 1T have beaten the Atchison road and eve " other railroad between Pit+sburg and New Mexico. Pm not afraid of being caught up on the Pennsylvania railroad" A young man about nineteen years of age stood calmly surveying a group of railroad men that surrounded him at the Union sta ton this morning. He had just been in- formed that as soon as an officer arrived he and companion would be placed under ar rest He was young Hebrew who took the situation very coolly, and seemed confident that he would escape the vigilance of the po- Hcemen.
 He had the appearance of being a young man who had but recently become a member of the order of tramps. His clothes still had a semblance of responsibility, and their fashionable cut had not yet been twisted out of shape.
 The cool-headed, recently-initiated tramp told quite an interesting story. He and his companion had been found sleeping in box car on the Pennsylvania railroad at daylight this morning. They had been unceremoni- ously told to seek sleeping quarters else where, and were supposed to have left the yards.
 Just as the day express on the Pennsylva- nia railroad was about to start on it's fast run for New York the two were found squeezed on top of the trucks of one of the coaches They were pulled out and in- formed that it was the custom to arrest men who ran the risk of being ground to pieces by riding on the trucks of fast ex- press trains. The young Hebrew, however, coolly told his story and it was finally deci- ded not to arrest him or his companion.
 The two had stolen their way on an ex- press train the entire distance from Santa Fe, N. Nj. They arrived at Chicago on Saturday morning. They then secured places on top of the trucks of one of the sleepers on the in which position they rode the entire 46S miles to this city, arriving here last night. They laid over in box car to stretch their stifened limbs and get nights rest.
 When discovered this morning the young Hebrew, in speaking of his experience, said: "The greatest difficulty we had was on the Santa Fe road. The people on that road boast that within the last couple of years they have been so vigilant that no tramps have got free rides on their trains The of fcials recently made a promise that they would give new suit of clothes to the first man who stole ride over the road. want ed to get a new suit of clothes and I was anxious to get back to Philadelphia. So I made the trial. succeeded and went after the new clothes. Did I get them? We'll, this suit is a little dusty, but it don't look very old, does ita I am trying to take good care of it. That's the reason I carry this little brush with me. I got over the Santa Fe road all right, where they have cowboy brakemen. guess I'm sharp enough to steal my way over the Pennsylvania railroad. I'll be in Philadelphia tonight sure."
 The young fellow ished nickel out of his pocket, saying that he was going to get a lunch, but that he would soon be back again.
